It's not like I've even got any pallets to offer

A couple of days ago I drove past a handmade sign by the side of the road that said ‘Pallets wanted’. In my state of near exhaustion, however, I initially thought it said ‘Wallets painted’.

Neither of them makes a lot of sense, but what my brain saw comes from a much nicer world than the truth; even now I’m a little sad that we don’t live in a reality where I might visit a roadside craftsman on a whim to have my wallet painted a different colour.
